    • Q:

      You indicate that this machine will thermally bind up to 150 sheets. In the accessories covers are available labeled 1/16 binding 15 sheets through 1/4 binding 60 sheets. What is the significance of the dimension 1/16, 1/4 etc. What covers are used to bind up to 150 sheets as specified? Do the referenced dimensions (1/16, 1/4 etc) refer to the amount of space at the left the binding process uses? All the covers you show indicate a clear front cover and colored back cover - are solid front covers available? Thanks in advance for your help.

        A:

        The significance of the dimensions 1/16 or 1/4 refers to how thick the paper can be in the report for the machine to still bind that report cover. Some will hold 15 sheets (1/16 thickness) and some will hold 30 sheets (1/4 thickness). We do offer a white front cover in our report covers. It is item 572657. For assistance in finding another item please contact customer service at 1-800-333-3330 or click on the “Contact Us” option under the “Customer Service” tab.

    • Q:

      The description says it takes 1-3 minutes to bind papers and heats up in 4 minutes. Do you have to wait 4 minutes between each binding you do to let the machine heat back up?
      Asked on 5/2/2013 by Sha from Beckley, WV

      1 answer

      • A:

        No you don't have to wait 4 minutes between each binding. Typically the machine is back to binding temp within 60 seconds.

    • Q:

      How does thermal binding work? Can a person make notepads out of it? How does it work? How much does the materials to bind (or hold the papers together)cost? Can they be any size? Like what if I make notebooks with like 10 pages and are like 4x6? How do you do it so you can tear pages out if you want to?
